Alice was the first wife of Richard de Percy.[1][2] Her family origins are unknown, and no more is known about her.
Research Notes
Family Origins
The original Dictionary of National Biography states that Alice was a sister of William Brewer.[3] This is almost certainly a confusion with Joan Briwere who married Richard de Percy's nephew William de Percy.[4] The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography says that her parentage in unknown.[1]

This profile is unsourced. There appears to be no evidence that a member of the Braose family married Richard de Percy. Sources indicate that his first wife was called Alice, but her family origins are unknown. The indications are also that Joan's currently-shown son Henry was illegitimate, mother unknown.
I have asked a question in G2G. Subject to answers to that, I am minded to detach Joan Alice Braose from Henry and either detach her from Richard de Percy, or detach her from her current family and make her last name Unknown and her first name just Alice to accord with the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and Medlands entries for Richard de Percy.
Following the discussion in G2G, I have now detached Alice from her previously shown parents, and changed her last name to Unknown. (To do this I had to adopt the profile - the current profile manager is not pre-1500-certified.)
